Twinhead laptop Hi!
Ihave got a Twinhead P88Tremic laptop and try as I may I cannot put an operating system in to it. I have connected an external cd to it to install windows but after the floppy is running it says it can't find files and mentions oak technoligy.I believe this is the driver for the cd rom.
Any one know a way to do this please.

The floppy version of Oak CD Rom Driver it is trying to install, will only work on certain types of CD drives (usually IDE or IDE-compliant SCSI internals). It is rare that it will work on an "external" CD Rom. Very unlikely.

However, if this is a good brand-name external CD drive like a "Backpack", you can make a floppy boot disk with their own proprietary driver (look on their website or old version sites). Usually the external CD drive manufacturer will provide either a driver to add to a MS boot floppy, or they will provide a specialized floppy image that you can use instead of the MS boot floppy.

You can put XP on it if you want and yes you can connect a external DVD ROM to the USB port.Its hard to say if the DVD ROM will play well or not though.If the TWINHEAD as a onboard cd drive be sure to set it as your first boot device then the HDD.If it does'nt have a onboard cd drive set it to boot from your USB first then the HDD.Good luck.

I believe this model of laptop was designed for Windows 95, which can be installed using only floppy disks. That would be just about your only solution. I would not recommend trying to install XP or anything on it, due to the outdated hardware. If it has a PCMCIA Slot on it (most do) you can buy a USB adapter that goes in there. But, as I stated before, I would just install Windows 95 on it (or possibly 98SE) Good Luck!

Hi,
If you have reinstalled windows, on this hardrive using a different computer, it would not load into windows on the nortino 6770, because the windows now has the settings compatible with the other computer not this machine.
To get around this problem, you would have to reinstall windows, by placing the haddrive in the 6770 only. To do this , you can either copy the contents of the windows cd , to a flash drive or pen drive ,and then connect the same to the USB port of the laptop.
The other way , is connect an external USB cd drive and install the same.
